Alabama Hog Trapping

The key to hog trapping is removing the entire sounder. While small box traps can work, larger corral traps are better suited for entire sounder removal. The setup involves a few parts, but with a little patience they can all be trapped.

First, we identified a high traffic area to set the trap in. The panelling has small holes at the bottom giving way to larger as you move up. This will prevent any piglet from escaping out of the bottom. Inside the trap is a feeder to keep the hogs coming back and a camera facing it all to show us when the entire group is inside the trap. Finally, once we can identify they’re all inside, we can fire the door remotely with an app and that sounder is eliminated.
